``Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear 
Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste and Reactor-Related Greater than 
Class C Waste.''
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0132.
    3. How often the collection is required: Required reports are 
collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events occur; 
submittal of reports varies from less than one per year under some rule

sections. Applications for new licenses, certificates of compliance 
(CoCs), and amendments may be submitted at anytime; applications for 
renewal of licenses are required every 40 years for an Independent 
Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) or CoC effective May 21, 2011, 
and every 40 years for a Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS) facility.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Certificate holders and 
applicants for a CoC for spent fuel storage casks; licensees and 
applicants for a license to possess power reactor spent fuel and other 
radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage in an ISFSI; 
and the Department of Energy for licenses to receive, transfer, package 
and possess power reactor spent fuel, high-level waste, and other 
radioactive materials associated with spent fuel and high-level waste 
storage in an MRS.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 76.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 69,065.7 hours (27,630.7 reporting + 38,683.0 recordkeeping

    7. Abstract: Part 72 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR), establishes mandatory requirements, procedures, and criteria 
for the issuance of licenses to receive, transfer, and possess power 
reactor spent fuel and other radioactive materials associated with 
spent fuel storage in an ISFSI, as well as requirements for the 
issuance of licenses to the Department of Energy to receive, transfer, 
package, and possess power reactor spent fuel and high-level 
radioactive waste, and other associated radioactive materials in an 
MRS. The information in the applications, reports, and records is used 
by NRC to make licensing and other regulatory determinations.
